singer of the song???

gubby

I used to have a cassette tape called "when I grow up" I believe the singer was from galway and I think his name was Brien O'Rourke. Thing is, I lent it to someone and cant get it back. I would love to get my hands on it again but have tried vairous places. If anyone can help me I would be trilled. I know its a long shot but worth a try eh?
some of the songs in it were
"Chantelle"
"When I grow up"
"Drumshnot"

google is your friend ?

The song you are chasing is "When I grow up" by Brian O'Rourke.

It may be found on the cassette recording of the same name (Camus Productions CP010)

The contents are as follows:

1 When I grow up (air: By the bright silvery light of the moon/Sive Song -ish)

(Oh I am a year old kid, I'm worth scarcely twenty quid,
I'm the kind of beast that you might well look down on;
But my value will increase at the time of my decease,
For when I grow up I want to be a bodhra/n.)
